Why it might land
  • New Jersey enters this fixture having secured three victories from their last four matches which shows good scoring momentum.
  • The betting market lists the over selection at a very attractive price of one point seven seven for this fixture.
  • New York has dropped three of their last four contests while struggling to keep opponents off the scoreboard entirely.
Why it might not
  • New York managed a solid win recently which proves they can tighten up defensively when they need to do so.
  • New Jersey suffered a recent loss in their last four outings where their attacking output dipped below expectations.

Members analysis

Edge Analysis

In depth
The matchup

The market makes New York Islanders the side to beat here at 52%, but only just, so this reads as a close call rather than a mismatch. Our model lands on Over 5.5, and it backs that with a 2 units stake. We expect goals in this matchup because both teams show mixed defensive form lately. The price offers decent value on the line of five goals and a half.

Form and momentum

New York Islanders come in poor, winning 25% of 4 on record. 0 of their 2 home games went their way, and the numbers point to games at both ends, plenty of goals either way. Right now they are on 2 losss in a row.

New Jersey Devils come in strong, winning 75% of 4 on record. 1 of their 2 away games went their way, and the numbers point to games at both ends, plenty of goals either way. Right now they are on 1 win in a row.

The price and the value

The prices turn into 52% for NYI and 48% for NJ once the bookmaker margin is stripped out. There is little between the two in the market, so the edge, if there is one, sits in the detail rather than the headline price. Our call sits at 1.77, and we only stake it because the reasons for it outweigh the reasons against.

When these two meet

Across 2 past meetings NJ have had the better of it, 2 wins to 0. Squads change, so read it as colour rather than proof.

Where it could go wrong
  • New York managed a solid win recently which proves they can tighten up defensively when they need to do so.
  • New Jersey suffered a recent loss in their last four outings where their attacking output dipped below expectations.
The bottom line

We back Over 5.5 for 2 units. It settles itself when the game ends, win or lose, and it goes on the record either way. This is an opinion read off the form and the prices on this page, not advice, and never a promise of a result.

Old meetings are worth less than they look. Squads change, managers change, and a result from two seasons ago tells you almost nothing about this one.
